I have been using Access since office 4.3. I have just upgraded to Office
2003 and am having issues with creating updatable queries. If I link one
table to a selection query based on the same table, the resulting query is
not updatable. OR If I link 2 tables together that don't have a primary key
the result is not updatable.
I know I was able to do this in previous versions since I usually don't use
a primary key.
Thanks

If it worked before without a primary key, I'd put that down to blind luck.
Access pretty much always works better if primary keys are defined.

I concur. It is not normally true that you can edit via a query that joins
tables without primary keys, but it might accidentally work sometimes.
By the way, if you don't normally use primary keys, you're not designing
normalized database schemas.

Hi,
I'm still confused about my queries, I want to do something is ASP that is
easily done in Access. I'll post the Access queries below as a reference.
The main idea is that the queries depend on each other in a hierarchical
manner. It all works fine in Access, but in the last query
(Qrylevel3CostTotals) there's a criteria which I would like to set from an
HTML form and thats where I am confused! How do I make this work in an ASP...

Hi,
I'm converting an Access 2000 database to Sql Server and must be
missing something obvious.
Using the Import utility in Sql Server, the Access queries seem to get
executed and the resultant data imported as tables. Oops!
Using the Upsize lizard in Access 2003, the queries aren't even in the
selection list of "tables" to upsize. It looks like the Upsize wizard

Access 2000
Trying even the most basic queries - select queries joining (inner
join) two tables - and the results are not updatable, and I can't tell
why they aren't. All permissions are on, recordset is dynaset, unique
values is no, etc.. etc..
Here's the SQL if it helps..:
SELECT tbl.ID
FROM tbl INNER JOIN Master ON tbl.IDNumber = Master.IDNumber;

Hi,
Here is my code for the Union query "Table
union Table union Table ;"
The tables are actually queries themselves.
I made a form for the query, but when I try to update the form, I get a
message that says "This recordset is not updatable." Can I somehow make it
updatable?
Thanks
P.S. Using access 2000.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
